Salat-ut-Tasbeeh

Yesterday i heard the Imam of a Mosque (through Mosque Radio) saying to read Salat-ut-Tasbeeh, all I know is you have to recite: 'Subhaanallaahi walhamdu lillaahi walaa ilaaha illallaahu wallaahu akbar ' a lot of times, but was unsure of how to.

Any help greatly appreciated. :)

yes you have to recite it 300 times in 4 rakaths.

www.ask-imam.com had something on it it i read a while back.

some ppl say the evidence for this type of salaah is weak and hence it should not be performed. so there is a difference of opinion

TAKEN FROM SUNNIPATH.COM (Hanafi)


Can you please explain the significance of Salat-ut-Tasbeeh? I searched on the hanafi messages to see if there has been a message related to this. Please also provide details of how to offer this prayer.


Al-Salam `alaykum

It is recorded in Sunan Abi Dawud and other books of hadith that Rasulullah :saw: (sallallahu `alayhi wasallam, Peace And Blessings of Allah be upon him once said to his uncle Hadrat `Abbas (r.a.) : O Abbas!O my uncle! Shall I not give you a gift? Shall I not show you something by means of which Allah Ta`ala will forgive your sins, the first and the last of them, the past and recent, the unintentional and the intentional, the small and huge, the secret and open?

Rasulullah :saw: (sallallahu `alayhi wasallam, Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) then taught him the Salah al-Tasbih. Furthermore he advised him that it be offered daily, if possible. If not then every Friday or once a month or once a year or at least once in one's life time. :love:

Salah al-Tasbih consists of 4 raka`at. It can be performed any time of the day or night except at the makruh times.

The following tasbih is recited seventy-five times in each rak`ah totalling 300 in the 4 raka`at.

Subhaanallaahi walhamdu lillaahi walaa ilaaha illallaahu wallaahu akbar

The method of this salah is as follows:

After beginning the salah by saying Allah-u-Akbar recite the thana ', Sura al-Fatiha and a Sura followed by the above tasbih 15 times.
Then go into Ruku and after reciting the usual tasbih for ruku` recite the above tasbih 10 times.
After standing up from ruku` recite the usual Rabbana Lakal Hamd and thereafter recite the tasbih 10 times.
Then go into Sajda and after reciting the usual tasbih for sajda recite the above tasbih 10 times.
Then sit up from sajda and recite the tasbih 10 times between the two sajdas.
Thereafter go into sajda again and after reciting the usual tasbih for sajda recite the above tasbih 10 times.
Then sit after the 2nd sajda (i.e. before standing up for the second rak`ah) and recite the tasbih 10 times.
This adds up to 75 times in one rak`ah. Do the same for the remaining 4 raka`at.

Abu Usamah



حدثنا عبد الرحمن بن بشر بن الحكم النيسابوري، ثنا موسى بن عبد العزيز، ثناالحكم بن أبان، عن عكرمة، عن ابن عباس : أن رسول اللّه صلى اللّه عليه وسلم قالللعباس بن عبد المطلب : " ياعباس يا عماه ألا أعطيك؟ ألا أمنحك؟ ألا أحبوك؟ ألاأفعل بك عشر خصالٍ إذا أنت فعلت ذلك غفر اللّه لك ذنبك أوله وآخره، قديمهوحديثه، خطأه وعمده، صغيره وكبيره، سره وعلانيته عشر خصالٍ : أن تصلي أربعركعاتٍ تقرأ في كل ركعة فاتحة الكتاب وسورةً، فإِذا فرغت من القراءة في أول ركعةٍوأنت قائمٌ قلت : سبحان اللذه، والحمد للّه، ولا إله إلا اللّه واللّه أكبر خمس عشرةمرةٍ، ثم تركع فتقولها وأنت راكعٌ عشراً، ثم ترفع رأسك من الركوع فتقولها عشراً، ثمتهوي ساجداً فتقولها وأنت ساجدٌ عشراً، ثم ترفع رأسك من السجود فتقولها عشراً، ثمتسجد فتقولها عشراً، ثم ترفع رأسك فتقولها عشراً، فذلك خمسٌ وسبعون في كلِّركعةٍ تفعل ذلك في أربع ركعاتٍ إن استطعت أن تصليها في كلِّ يوم مرةً فافعل، فإِنلم تفعل ففي كلِّ جمعةٍ مرةً، فإِن لم تفعل ففي كلِّ شهر مرة، فإِن لم تفعل ففي كلِّسنةٍ مرةً، فإِن لم تفعل ففي عمرك مرةً ".‏

:love: The Tasbih Prayer: Is It A Reprehensible Innovation?

Answered by Shaykh Faraz Rabbani :love:


Is the 'Salatut Tasbeeh'; an innovation that should be avoided?* I ask this because I have noticed that certain scholars have classified the hadith regarding Salatul Tasbeeh as a weak and fabricated hadith, and should be avoided. Can you please tell me where the Hanafi school stand on this issue?**

:start:

Walaikum assalam,

There is a long-standing dispute among the hadith scholars about the status of the hadiths regarding the Tasbih Prayer.

But the stronger opinion does seem to be that the hadith is sound, and Allah knows best, as Hafidh Ibn Hajar stated, and confirmed by my friend and teacher, Shaykh Ahmad Abd al-Jabbar.

In the Hanafi madhhab, it is recommended, as mentioned in the major texts, such as Ibn Abidin's Hashiya.

Walaikum assalam,

Faraz Rabbani.

The Hadith on Salatu-tasbeeh is sound, insha'Allah. And I have never read where any of the four Imams of the madhaahib renounce it.

Its recommended, as quoted above, that at least one should perform it once in his lifetime, as a muslim.
